haha... depends on your personal preference I'd say. I'll say what I always say to clients/friends, if you're 100% determined to go after your goal, and it is of utmost importance to you, taste of a post-workout shake etc, should never be an issue.

That being said, I've taken this shake before a couple years ago, it's perfectly fine and after a while you get used to it anyway. It's all about the end result, not your tastebuds.

I "prescribe" this shake to people who have issues downing 3K+ or 4K calories per day. So, if adding in 1K extra cals with just drinking something is dependant on taste, maybe gaining the weight isn't as important to the individual

Sorry if I sound like I'm rambling, basically all comes down to what you want now... and what you want/value most

I wouldn't disagree on the motivation requirements. Though I'd still like something that doesn't taste bad. I can see from your recipe that the base would be lots of milk, peanut butter, and oats, which would form the base of the taste. I would presume that to be acceptable-borderline good tasting, around 5.8?

as mentioned before. taste is subjective. what may taste good for one person, may not for another.
best way to answer this, is to try it out and see how you go.

for hard gainer try to gain 0.25kg per week. at least consume 2200kcal with regular workout. if u able to do it consistently u can gain 2kg in 2 months. 1 year = 12kg.

so from 48kg to 60kg(minimum?)!!

can anyone recommend any trusted good reasonable not sharky seller for mass weight gain supplement in shah alam area?

Hi all,

I'm 31 yrs old, 178cm 55kg. Severely underweight. I don't workout

I've tried to gain weight previously but never really had the discipline.

However, I'm now determine to gain weight and my modest goal is now 3 kgs by end of the year. Here's my meal plan.

Breakfast (abt 300cal)
- Milo with Cereal and Milk
- Two slices of bread with tuna/peanut butter

Snack (abt 220cal)
- Oat crackers with cereals
- Milo/Milk

Lunch (abt 600cal)
- 2 bowls of rice with vege and meat (pref chicken breast)

Snack (abt 250cal)
- Nuts
- Crackers
- Fruits
- Ice Cream

Dinner (abt 600cal)
- 2 bowls Rice
- Vege & Meat
- Fruits

Before Sleep (abt 220cal)
- Biscuits
- Milo

I intend to workout 3 times a week and perhaps add supplements into my diet (once after workout and once before 1 sleep).

Do you guys think this is realistic? 3 kgs by year end. Bonus will be 5kg..

It's pretty carb heavy and but not too high in protein, unless you are consuming large amount of lean meat for your lunch/dinner meals. Other then that, seems alright. *Most* lean meats range in 25-30g of protein per 100g of cooked weight (this is a conservative estimate, and I always use this as a general guide).

As a general guide, apart from being consistent on your caloric intake everyday... Take pictures or measurements once every week, preferably in the morning. Compare this from week to week, every 2 weeks etc. If you feel you're gaining too much bodyfat, decrease your carb intake slightly. If you feel you're not making any muscle gains/strength etc (good gauge to see if you are indeed gaining muscle mass), just increase the carb intake.

Proteins should always remain constant, relative to your body type. Good luck

not realistic with the current diet. however, if you add 1 cup of almonds throughout the day and a nice 3-egg cheese omelete before you sleep, you should be good to go. that's an additional 1100kcal right there which bumps your daily caloric intake to about 3290kcal a day.

also, what xGKx Phoenix mentioned about getting enough protein in your diet. as it is, you're weigh/whey below (horrible puns intended).

I am 158cm with only 40kg.
I tried to gain weight before. I can actually eat many..
But every time after I eat many, I will cirit birit.. T_T
End up still look the same.. sigh..

Is this the product that u used??

your 'eating a lot' is very subjective. the other thing is do you consistantly eat this same amount 7 days of the week?

some of the reasons people find it hard to gain weight is that they are not consistant in their meals from a caloric standpoint. they may eat 3000-4000kcal on Monday but as they found it difficult to take in that amount of food, they start to decline to 2800kcal on Tuesday, 2500kcal on Wednesday and so on.

you need to be getting enough calories to gain weight on a daily basis. there is no other way around this.

i gained 2.4 kg a week n half using serious mass but as i grow bigger become harder to gain weight U_U

it's because you don't understand how you gain those weight in the first place.

Height : 175CM
Weight : 50KG

how do i gain weight ? I'm pretttty skinny !

Calculate the needed calories, add up extra. Eat 2x more.

I eat alot but I don't gain weight !

If no gain, simply shows that you eat not enough. Simple right?

maybe my sleeping pattern or something effects ? or no ? mhmm.

I eat for lunch for what you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Anyone knows how to calculate daily calories intake for own body ?
